In an armed conflict situation in Republican Rome I think it essential to have a reserve or third line of older hard headed experienced soldiers who probably can't hurl a pilum like the younger troops any more but with their battle experience would be quite handy if things were going badly for a wavering Roman legion. IMHO.
